Biohazard and Medical Waste

Many people think biohazardous waste only includes chemical waste and sharps disposal and removal, generated from laboratories and factories, however, this is not the case.

Biohazardous waste can also be waste from blood or body fluids for example, that are contaminated with potentially infectious agents and are classified as a threat to public. This type of waste can come from common households as well as healthcare professionals – for example in extreme hoarding cases.

A common problem non-experts face is failing to understand what is classified as biohazard waste. For example infected bedding materials can potentially be a biohazard and need to be disposed of safely. If in doubt, you should always contact a professional in the field, like the expert biohazard team here at Just Clear, to get some advice on biohazardous waste and ways to dispose of it.

The kind of non-commercial specialist biological clean-ups we handle on a regular basis may be upsetting to those who require these services, but we handle each job with expertise, care, courtesy and understanding.

Healthcare waste such as hypodermic needles and other medical items is commonly generated from hospitals but similar waste can also be from individuals. According to the Environmental Protection Act 1990, it is unlawful to deposit controlled waste along with household waste and this has to be dealt with appropriately.
